' PATENIEU raazamn INVENTOR. FREDERICK L. JERRY BANDAGE The prime objectis to devise a first aid bandage having its own supply of freshmedication to apply to the gauze pad and the wound then and thereon withall of its medical potencies, unlike the old way of dried medication onthe bandage, which loses its potencies after a short period of timeafter release to the public. Another object of the invention is todevise a bandage with a medication container having an adhesive sealingband made from adhesive tape which seals in the medication, and toprovide easy means of opening the medication container. Still anotherobject of the invention is to devise a bandage with its medicationcontainer aboverthe gauze pad, so as not to interfere with thedistribution of the medication, or interfere with the healing of thewould, by interfering with the healing oxygen found in the air.

I attain this object and others that might be pointed out by theillustration in the accompanying drawing, in which:

FIG. 1 is an elevation view of my invention;

FIG. 2 is a plan view of my invention;

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the old bandage without my invention and newimprovements;

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of my invention showing the tab and theadhesive band provided thereon the undersurface;

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of my invention without the tab andadhesive band, showing the opening left after the tab and band has beenpulled; and

FIG. 6 is a side view of my invention.

The invention and improved bandage l is constructed of two adhesivestrips having a plastic medication container 4 (refer to the drawings)connected between the said two adhesive strips, of which the right stripconnects to the right side of the plastic medication container 4, andthe other strip connects to the right side of the plastic medicationcontainer 4,

and the other strip connects to the left side of the medicationcontainer. The gauze pad 3 is connected between the two adhesive stripsbelow the said plastic medication container 4. Container 4 is providedwith an adhesive band 5 that is provided witha tab 6 and is the means ofsealing the medication plastic container, when it, the said adhesiveband 5 is adhered over the opening 7 provided in the plastic medicationcontainer 4. Therefore it will be seen that when the bandage is appliedover the wound and the adhesive band 5 is pulled away by the tab 6 fromover the opening 7 provided in the plastic medication containerlengthwise, medication will flow out onto and through the gauze pad 3 onto the wound.

I claim:

1. In a device of the class described a bandage constructed I fromadhesive strips having a gauze pad adhered thereon, the

improved bandage being constructed of two adhesive strips having aplastic medication container connected between the said two adhesivestrips of which the right strip connects to the right side of theplastic medication container, and the other strip connects to the leftside of the said plastic medication container; a g'auze pad is connectedbetween the two adhesive strips below the said plastic medicationcontainer; the plastic medication container is provided with an openinglengthwise in its undersurface; an adhesive band seals the opening inthe said plastic medication container, and is provided with a tab asmeans of pulling the said adhesive band away from the opening providedin the plastic medication container whereby a when the bandage isapplied over the wound and the adhesive band is pulled away from overthe opening provided in the plastic container, medication will flow outonto and through the said gauze pad onto the wound.
